MY MOTIVE TO TEACH
My main motive to teach is to see how my
students really learn. To see that my students now have some knowledge they did
not have before makes me feel motivated. I eagerly look forward to teaching
again when I notice a progress in my students. To know that I can be a
facilitator that opens doors to my students to acquire English knowledge
motives me to continue teaching English.
MY REWARDS WHEN TEACHING ENGLISH
I find my experience teaching English rewarding
when two situations happen. First, it is said that an exam is proof what a
students has learnt, so to see good results in my students’ exams delights me a
lot. Despite the fact that some students cheat on the exams, in English exams, not
anybody can cheat. Second, I notice my students are interested in learning English
when they ask questions regarding to the topic they are studying. So, I happily
teach to them every single class.
MY STUDENTS NEEDS/MY PRIORITY
I think my motives to teach interfere with my
ability to put the needs of my students ahead of my own when I forget about my
students’ problems and just focus on their learning process. I really like when
my students have progress in English, but what happens when they just do not have
it? Well, I feel disappointed; but then I think that there might have been many
things I did not do in order to help those students who are not doing great in
my subject. I just do not have to focus on my desire to see good grades in my
students. Instead, I have to get to know better my students, so that I can
become a facilitator for them to really learn.
